What on Earth is Beet Kvass?

I know what most of you are thinking... beets?! EW. I used to hate beets, too. But, I wasn't eating or drinking beets in their best light. Given — no matter what recipe you try, beets still have an earthy flavor. But beets pack some major healthy punches. Kvass is my favorite way to ingest beets daily because the drink tastes more like pickle juice or kraut, just more earthy. I would describe the flavor as slightly sweet, salty, earthy. Not to mention, this is SUPER easy and cheap to make and always have in your fridge.

Kvass is a Russian term for a fermented drink (in Russia it's an alcoholic drink). This recipe is fermented, but not alcoholic. Fermented juices have so many gut health benefits. This juice helps with constipation, diarrhea, blood pressure, bloating, fighting off cold and flu, long-term goals of fighting cancer and disease.

Probiotic

Probiotic foods strengthen your immune system and kill off pathogenic bacteria. It replenishes your gut with good bacteria that help break down food. Even though probiotic supplements can help, the best way to get probiotics in your gut is to eat fermented foods like kvass, kombucha, pickles, sauerkraut, etc.

Liver Cleanse

Beets have 1300 milligrams of potassium per cup. That helps fight free radical damage and improves your body on a cellular level.
